CANDY-MAKER'S TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 20, 191?,

Application filed April 28, 1917. Serial No. 165,180.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN D. FINE, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city, county, and State of Oklahoma, have invented newand useful Improvements in Candy-Makers Tables, of which the followingis a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention is in the art of candymaking, referring more particularlyto candy-making tables, wherein heat is maintained for imparting same tothe batch of candy to be manipulated.

The object of the invention is to impart heat to the batch to preventsetting or hardening of the same while being worked, and an especialobject is to impart heat to the batch at a point remote from theoperator,

where cool air ismost like to strike, and

harden that portion of the batch.

Other objects of the invention will appear as the reading of thespecification and claims is had.

On the drawing, accompanying and forming a part of the specification, apractical embodiment of vthe invention is shown, although the structuremay be modified, in constructing a table involving the essentials ofinvention.

On this drawing,

Figure 1 is a plan view of the table,

Fig. 2 is an elevation, partly in section of the same.

Like characters of reference indicate like parts in these figures.

The table is preferable of metal, consisting of a plate 3, from whichrises walls 4, 5, 6 and 7, and by which walls are formed air chambers 8between them and walls 9 and 10, for receiving and radiating the heatfrom vapor coming from water 11 in the base of the table, contained in achamber 12 formed by the upper plate 3 and a lower plate 13.

These chambers and walls formed one partition or end wall at each sideof the table, and a central partitlon connecting them, the end wallsextending away from the central partition and in opposed directions.Thus, when this table is located intermediate the ends of an elongatedwork board or table, the workman on either side of the work tablewillhave a place for his batch upon the heating table, with an end wall andback wall, both heated, so as to keep his batch in workable conditiontogether with the tables heat, so that he can work or spin his batchinto products successfully.

Any means of heating, such as a burner 14, may be provided, which may befed in suitable manner as by a feed 15.

In a general way the means for introducing water into the table, and themeans for relieving the pressure if there be such when the water boilsis indicated in a general way by 16 and 17, one being any form of inletto be suitable coupled to supply and the other being a suitable form ofblow offso generally known in the art as to require no specialillustration.

Likewise a suitable, combined, if desired, thermometer and water gage,indicated in a general way, by 18 may be provided for determining theamount of water in the table, and the temperature of the same.

An important point in this case to be mentioned is the provision ofmeans for providing heat to the bottom, the end not being worked, andthe back of .the batch being spun into product so that these parts willnot harden during operation of the spinning.

Having thus described this invention, I claim:

1. A candy-makers table, consisting of water containing table, means toheat the water, a vapor receiving and heat radiating wall central ofsaid table and extending upward. and end walls connected thereto onopposite sides and in opposed directions.

2. A candy makers table, consisting of a water containing table, meansto direct water into same, means to heat the water, a vapor receivingand heat radiating wall central of said table and extending upward, endwalls associated therewith on opposite sides of the wall and in opposeddirections,

means to exhaust excessive pressure, and means to determine the Waterlevel and heat generated.

3. A candy-makers table consisting of a Water receiving compartment,means to heat same, means to introduce the Water, means to determine itslevel, means to determine the heat, and means to distribute the heatabove the table along the center of it and along two opposed endsthereof. in

Signed at Oklahoma, in the county and State of Oklahoma, this 24th dayof April,

in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventeen.

JOHN D. FINE.
